This is a wonderful cake. I have made this cake a few times. I always add a capfull of vanilla to the cake and the frosting. I think it makes it taste more homemade instead of coming from a box.

I have made this cake several times. I make it as a layer cake and will put pineapple preserves between the layers and on the top under the topping. I have experimented w/ different flavors of cakes as well. In place of the oil I use applesauce.

Wow, what a refreshing cake for a hot summer afternoon. This cake is perfect when you are just plain tired of the same old thing. I followed someone elses suggestion and added 1 unsweetened pack of orange Kool-Aid to the mix and it was great!

I took the cake to work for my supervisor's birthday. It was sooo yummy. She loved it as well as everyone else how tried it! I used half the cool whip and that was plenty. I would also add more mandarin oranges to the batter next time since you can't really taste it too much... it's still good, though.. and deserves 5 stars for taste and because it is super easy to make. It is a good idea to make the frosting and leaving it in the fridge to "set". I will definitely make this again!

This was really great. Only used half the topping (personal preference). Will be making this again.

I am NOT a fruity-cake type fan, but this is positively the BEST cake I have ever had. I have made it numerous times and it has received raves every time. I do add unsweetened orange kool-aid to the cake mix & to the frosting to give it an orange-y kick. It makes it quite beautiful, and picks up the orange flavor a bit more. Quite elegant!!
